I worked in broadcasting 20 years ago and our basic operations consisted of rewriting official press releases and reading them on the air. No one ever bothered to get alternative viewpoints or talk to other parties involved. If the police arrested someone that’s what you wrote. You didn’t go and talk to the family to find out their side. Laziness abounds.

I would go so far as to say that basic journalism and investigative journalism are both either dead or dying. Basic grammar, spelling and sentence construction certainly are.

It is easier to have columnists and writers who will put forth “news” that agrees with the publication’s political view rather than what may be the actual facts.
